UPDATE: 1/28/99: Candye appeared on the Roseanne show the other day and it was cool! She wasn't on until halfway through the show, although The Swingin' Armadillos played out to and back from commercials while Roseanne chatted with the guy that hosts Sabado Gigante. Then Candye performed a rousing number of "200 Lbs Of Fun." She then joined Roseanne and talked about being a big beautiful woman, her trials in the music biz, etc. Roseanne was just fascinated by Candye's life and had Candye speak directly to the camera to address women who were unhappy with their size. It was pretty cool.
